That section of US Code (18 U.S.C. § 2340) was written to comply with Articles 2 and 4 of the UN Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.
Also of interest: US Code TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 118 > § 2441. War Crimes.

..but, really, sry, someone has to ask this, and he didn't address this problem at all when he announced he's considering to run:
Is John Amato fit enough to go through all the stress of a campaign?
No misunderstanding pls, from lurking here and occasionally commenting some years ago (before C&L did have some kind of a troll problem) I know John determined progressive stances, and I'm sure John would be a great Representative for the Democratic Party. However, excuse me pls for raising this, but this question is too important to be held back because of politeness. And I'm concerned that friends and regular commenters here may hesitate to raise the problem with him.
As far as I remember, and pls correct me asap if I'm wrong, John had to cancel several blogger meetings in the past years, and he wasn't able to go through the whole program at the Dem convention. So, again, sry, I think there is a reason to ask: Has John's health improved to the level that he is able to go through all the energy consuming campaign appearances? If he can't answer this with a clear, unhesitant "yes", it would be good if he would back out and instead endorse one of the other candidates. Kudos to John Amato for being willing to step up to the plate, but this serious question deserves an honest answer.
now that the AIPAC lobbyists are going to be cleared along with Harman, they will screw him into the ground.
And I guess he'll get help from the good folks at JStreet. That isn't a problem, imho.
It's what gets put on TV that counts tho.
About 80% of the Dem constituents in that district probably never even heard of the Harman phonecall story, so it didn't happen.
If he has something good on her that he can nail her with in the last week of the campaign, go for it.

anytime anything is reported that "may" happen, has. But why waste a good chance to fall in line with the demoheads that are rampant on the blogs. I know you aren't one of them, but I read that article and went WTF? This administration has to be the fastest Dem to Rep government in the history of the US. Even Clinton didn't swing right as fast.
but the media uses the word too often in Obama's case. I even like arguing sometimes, myself. but I look at articles like that as attempts to chip away at Obama's image.
Some stuff you can't make up!
except the media in this link is MSNBC, and there is no online media that completely supports everything he does, more than MSNBC. A great many of their articles are so supportive, you read one and get the impression the articles were written in the Whitehouse.
they have at least as many assKKKlown as the NYTimes. I get what you're saying, though. at least they are NOT fux or cnn.

Louisiana senator blocks nominee to lead FEMA
By Lesley Clark | McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — A Louisiana senator is stalling Florida emergency management director Craig Fugate's nomination as head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
Fugate had sailed through his nomination hearing and Monday cleared the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee by a unanimous voice vote. Republican Sen. David Vitter said, however, that he'd blocked Fugate because of concerns he has with FEMA.
Some stuff you can't make up!
They cut out the funding for pandemic research and protection.
Now they're blocking the nominee for FEMA. And hurricane season is not far away.
This will bite them in the ass too.
This is like a rerun.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
How else can they make millions on the suffering of others?
These are the kind of people that would cut down the last tree on earth to make a club to bash in the skull of the last harp seal.
They don't care about anything or anyone, but their own bank accounts and their own personal comfort.
And they can all fuck off.
but the Repugs in Congress are not the ones who will suffer....
it'll be the poor folk (us) who can't get out of the way of a storm, or who can't afford to see a doctor, etc. And, the David Vitter types (which is a lot in Congress) do not care!
"Egotism is the anesthetic that dulls the pain of Stupidity" - Frank Leahy
I agree with all of the above. I often have CNN on teevee when I'm cooking dinner (cuz that's around when Larry King is on here, and if he has a good guest...). Anyway, I overheard someone saying that Iraq was in need of rebuilding ("for sale") and 200 of the top companies are poised to set up shop/move in. He went on to say, Iraq has the world's third largest oil reserves, so there will be lots of money to fund it.
And that is the Iraq war, start to finish. Bust it up then rebuild. Do it overseas and use their money. Poifect!!!!!

100%. I don't read Twitter, 'cause I do know it is a rightwingFASCIST propaganda machine, so..........consider the source. Always ask yourself, 'Who Benefits If I Were to Swallow This?' Mostly everything that comes out of the US, no matter the 'outlet', 'international news agency'..........They've ALL been twisted with FASCIST obstructionism, and hysteria.
I don't know that much about it. I would suggest people were not meant to communicate in such disjointed fashion. We have trouble enough understanding each other using full sentences in complete conversations.

BAGHDAD (AP) - The U.S. death toll for April rose to 18, the military said Friday, making it the deadliest in seven months for American forces in Iraq. The sharp increase from the previous month came as a series of bombings also pushed Iraqi deaths to their highest level this year.

what is so dissapointing here is that the bush cheny wars continue on obamas watch with his full approval! and thier was a time when the posters here screamed , bitched , moaned about the combat deaths ,the civilian deaths , the waste of not only lives but our national treasure and for what ,now that the democrats own these bush wars few here open thier yaps about any of these things, i have been told by a pacifist , who said thiers no excuse for these wars , and he wouldnt support anyone who did, then when obama was selected er sorry elected, he when i still objected to obamas keeping these wars going said i was just talking to hear myself talk , and that i was just bitching to be bitching , well i remember when he was bitching about it as were most here! so i asked this sworn pacifist , so your now for the wars then? he hemed and hawed around for a bit and i asked him to answer my question, finaly his answer came , yes im for obamas continueing these wars , and his reason for being for the wars was, because the wars are now being handled by an intelligent president , it would seem that feeling prevails here today , now, never mind obama has really no input into what takes place in iraq or afganistan for the most part, its still the same generals looking for more stars on thier collars and still the same warmongers in the pentagon pulling obamas strings ,so where did all the anti -war posters go to ? what does it take to get them to see that more women and children will die , more american boys and girls will be comeing home in flag draped coffins all because the corporations and israel own obama and the us military, and of course its the same message i speak out against! because nothings changed and im still pointing out what i did when bush owned this war !
for Obama to change any of the illegal invasion tactics, what with all the corporate *ss kissing he's busy doing. It's too bad there are no shovels in the US with those millions of jobs that are being created weekly.
well concerned just like with these wars it seems shovel ready jobs and green energy jobs will take untill obamas next election to be solved , didnt anybody see the urgency of bailing out the banks , the rich needed more to keep them rich , they got it immidiatly no questions asked , obama touts 5 million new jobs with clean coal tecnology on tv , ten minutes later on the same channel the coal lobby has a commercial touting the advantages of ........... the avalibility of ........ coal and its abundence ! the facts are thiers no such varmit as clean coal, as for green products being produced in the us on a scale large enough to employ all the unemployed by the job losses with outsourceing is rediculess , first off thoes windmills ,electric cars , solar panels will be made by the chinese and shipped to the us and unloaded at bargain prices , anything invented in the future for saveing energy will be sold by the corporations to india ,china , mexico, and sold at rock bottom prices , and even if any shovel ready jobs materlise the pay for thoes jobs wont allow a working man to buy energy saveing electric cars , ect , youll be to busy carrying baskets of worthless dollars because of inflation to the food markets to buy thoes poisoned food staples , solient greens looking better all the time!
cleaning up all this bullshit is the only shovel ready job available, and we ain't gettin' paid a penny.
good morning bauer its nice to know im still not on a fews ignore list! and youd need a large snow shovel for that job ! bullshit is plentyful and its gobbeled up by the partys faithful by the gallons, how needy the liberals , er sorry the new democrats have become, thankfuly i finaly realised the douchbags we vote for are actualy douchbags , the next time i vote ill be looking for an actual liberal most likely or hopefuly dennis kucinich and a whole new brand of real liberal senators that havent bent over and grabbed thier ancles for the corporations , it must be tough takeing it up the wazoo for a million bucks of lobby money!
It's a very sad fact that O-bought-ma, the consumate Chicago pol, really doesn't care. He already got the pay-off, his book was released at the peak of his popularity, and now he's independently rich -- one of the Oligarchs. Disaster FASCISM is profitable.! These creatures, who look human, are NOT! SAD
yes proudly ,your right sads the word, i guess obama needs the money for the next election , nah ! the lobbiests who bought him allready will supply all he needs,
Are there still two wars going on??? Who would know? Too many other "nuggets" to yak about, and "baubles" to gawk at.
The MSM has moved on, and so have the people. Guess it (war coverage/journalism) doesn't sell enough stuff any more.

normally i don't eat much meat, but this past week, for whatever reason, i ate 5 chickens. well, not 5 whole chickens, but you get the idea.
as i was devouring the delectable fowl, it occurred to me none of these poor birds were likely ever named.
so, i named one "jake", after JACOB ROTHSCHILD.
i named another "evelyn", after EVELYN ROTHSCHILD.
i named another "rocky", after DAVID ROCKEFELLER.
i named another "al", after ALAN GREENSPAN.
and i named the last one "tiny tim", after lil' TIMMY GEITHNER.
thanks, chickens. sorry i had to eat you, but you were truly DELICIOUS.
"jake" was served over a szechuan dish, with fried rice.
"evelyn" was a deep-fried buffalo chicken sandwich.
"rocky" was wrapped up in a burrito.
"al" was diced over a barbecue pizza, and devoured as the bulls were beating the celtics in game 6.
"tiny tim" was in some indian dish, "aloo" i believe.
saturday morning cartoons were my mentor.
good times eh bro? tom and jerry , porky and petulia, the old wiley fox and the hen ! good times ,
